Romans 16:16-18
International Standard Version
16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.[a] All the churches of the Messiah[b] greet you.
Final Warning
17 Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and sinful enticements that oppose the teaching you have learned. Stay away from them, 18 because such people are not serving the Messiah[c] our Lord, but their own desires. By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
